EE, your chutzpah is showing again. Remember how patiently I repeatedly explained that one deal to you over and over, and even when other people tried to gently tell you I was right, you went off on them too? You brashly insisted I was wrong, tried to bet me while offering to self-banish if you were wrong. You chortled about how idiotic I was for being so egregiously and obviously incorrect.

Then after I don’t know how many explanations, it finally got through. You seemed chastened, posting:

> [@](#):
>
> Well, I’m glad you didn’t take the bet, I just realized I was wrong. I did misunderstand your claim–I apologize to you and to BPC and to CarnalK.
> 
> Arrogant, verbose and wrong is a horrible combination. So, I’ll honor my part of the bet even if it wasn’t accepted:
> 
> I was wrong and SlackerInc was right.

I actually thought at the time you might have learned something. My bad. Maybe I should have noticed that even then, you were already back to taking liberties with the truth. For in fact, you were claiming too much magnanimous credit in supposedly unilaterally honoring your side of the bet, when you actually didn’t. Just 22 minutes earlier you had posted:

> [@](#):
>
> Here, I’ll reduce the stakes for you: we’ll post your initial claim and my initial response to GQ, and ask the SDMB community which of us is correct.
> 
> If the general consensus is that you are wrong all you have to do is make a post admitting that you were wrong and that I was right, and that this is the general pattern every time we argue.
> 
> If I’m wrong I’ll leave the board.
> 
> Do you accept the bet?

But you didn’t leave the board, did you? :dubious: And now you are back to your old trash-talking ways, lesson unlearned. Sad!

P.S. Here’s another cite, from 2012:

> [@Obama voters: voting for Obama or against Romney](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/obama-voters-voting-for-obama-or-against-romney/639953/33):
>
> I love Obama

But of course it’s meaningless since I didn’t use the precise word “favorite”, right? :rolleyes:
